use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor

can result in the risk of electrical shock.

• The machine should be grounded while in use to protect

operator from electrical shock.

• In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding

reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an

escape wire for the electric current.

• This machine is equipped with an approved

3-conductor cord rated at 150V and a 3-prong

grounding type plug for your protection against shock

hazards.

• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a

properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type

receptacle, as shown (Figure 5)

• The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

• Check with a qualiﬁed electrician or service personnel if

these instructions are not completely understood or if in

doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

• Do not modify plug provided. If it will not ﬁt in outlet,

have proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

Use only 3-wire extension cords, that have 3-prong

grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor

receptacles that accept the machine's plug, as show in

Figure 5

Do not permit ﬁngers to touch the terminals of plug when

installing or removing from outlet.

• Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have

repaired by an authorized service facility.

• The conductor with insulation having an outer surface

that is green with or without yellow stripes is the

equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement

of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect

the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.

A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see

Figure 6) may be used to connect this plug to a matching

2-conductor receptacle as shown in ﬁgure 6. The

temporary adapter should be used only until a properly

grounded outlet can be installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

In Canada, the use of temporary adapter is not permitted

by the Canadian Electric Code. Where permitted, the rigid

green tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must be

securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such

as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly grounded

outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
